As we all know, in terms of folding screens, many manufacturers are still in the exploratory stage. Although the price of some folding screen mobile phones remains below 10,000 yuan, they still cannot compare with the candy bar in terms of experience. Many Android manufacturers’ folding screen phones have gradually become practical after several iterations, but Apple has been slow to announce its folding screen products. What’s more, some people think that Apple has no ability to develop folding screen phones. Is this really the case?

Recently, Ross Young, an analyst at research firm Display Supply Chain Consultants, said that Apple may have delayed the foldable iPhone until 2025, while exploring the full-screen foldable MacBook, Apple does not seem to be in a hurry to enter the folding machine market. In addition, it is reported that Apple is discussing a 20-inch foldable product with the supply chain. When folded, it is a full-size laptop that can be used as a display when unfolded. This product may be launched in 2026-2027. .

It is worth mentioning that not only Apple is researching folding screen computers, but Samsung’s previous laptop design patent was approved by the World Intellectual Property Organization. Samsung’s patent diagram shows that the screen and keyboard of this notebook are split in two from the middle, and this screen seems to be made of two screens spliced ​​together. In addition, the notebook’s screen and keyboard are magnetically connected, and the two can be used separately and folded separately. At the same time, the notebook has a battery on the left and right sides, using an asymmetrical design.

Google Pixel 7 broke the news: or will be launched with the Pixel foldable screen phone

Although it feels like the Google Pixle 6 series has just been released, the first revelations about the Google Pixel 7 series have come.
There have been recent reports that Google is working on its second-generation Tensor chipsets. The chipset will power the upcoming Google Pixel 7 series, which uses Samsung’s 5300 Exynos modem for connectivity. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are codenamed Cheeta and Panther, respectively.

In addition to Cloudripper, there are three codenames connected to Exynos modems. Two of them – Cheeta and Panther are considered the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. From the first Pixel smartphone, Sailfish, to the last Pixel smartphone, the Pixel 5 “Redfin,” which carried the codename for a sea creature, Pixel devices have always had a codename associated with a fish or other sea creature.
The codenames for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are Oriole and Raven, respectively. This is followed by the Pixel 6a, codenamed Bluejay, and the Pixel Notepad, codenamed Pipit, which are bird names. For the Pixel 7 series, the company is changing its codename scheme to animal names, suggesting that each generation of Pixel phones will have a new codename scheme.
The third codename associated with the Exynos modem – “Ravenclaw” sounds like a Hogwarts reference book, but unless Google has something magical planned for the Pixel 7 series, things might be different. Separately, the Google Pixel foldable smartphone is expected to go into production in the third quarter of 2022 and launch alongside the Google Pixel 7 series in the fourth quarter of 2022.
